Abstract
Aging increases the risk of cardiometabolic and cardiorenal disease and this is associated with cellular dysregulation including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance and senescence. Extracellular vesicles (EV) facilitate inter-organ communication and are now well established as important pathophysiological mediators in many aging-associated diseases. Our knowledge of EV biosynthesis, cargo composition, cellular targeting and functional effects has expanded significantly over the past decade. Here we provide a comprehensive review on the characteristics and functional significance of EV in cardiometabolic and cardiorenal diseases in the context of aging. Specifically, we focus on heart failure, type 2 diabetes, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), hypertension, and chronic kidney disease and discuss aging-associated changes in bioactive molecules transferred via EV and how these are associated with healthspan. Furthermore, we summarize current potential therapeutic applications of EV. Overall, this review summarizes current knowledge indicating an important role for EV in aging-related cardiometabolic and cardiorenal diseases, and how insights from basic research can potentially be translated to the clinic in order to combat aging-associated metabolic decline and improve longevity and healthspan.
期刊介绍:
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development is a multidisciplinary journal aimed at revealing the molecular, biochemical and biological mechanisms that underlie the processes of aging and development in various species as well as of age-associated diseases. Emphasis is placed on investigations that delineate the contribution of macromolecular damage and cytotoxicity, genetic programs, epigenetics and genetic instability, mitochondrial function, alterations of metabolism and innovative anti-aging approaches. For all of the mentioned studies it is necessary to address the underlying mechanisms.
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development publishes original research, review and mini-review articles. The journal also publishes Special Issues that focus on emerging research areas. Special issues may include all types of articles following peered review. Proposals should be sent directly to the Editor-in-Chief.
